Top freezer working fine. Bottom fridge is too warm. Watched your video, took apart top panel, evaporator fan motor not working. dial switch in fridge makes no difference. I tested wires to evaporator motor fan, not getting any voltage to fan motor? The fridge has the dial switch that says “coldest to lowest”. took that panel down, it has the thermostat dial switch, and there is a white square thing with wiring harness connected to it next to the dial switch.
What would be stopping power from reaching the evaporator fan motor? FYI, this all happened after a power pole was hit in neighborhood, causing outage/spike. The condensor and it’s fan is running fine, freezer is working fine. Just not the fridge.
read above. tested wires to evaporator fan motor with digital volt meter for ac, got nothing. That’s with the dial switch in fridge set to coldest setting, and then tried at lowest setting, no power getting to evaporator fan motor in freezer?

Hello
For your model refrigerator these are the three items that send power to the evaporator fan motor. The first is the Temperature control #5304404821, if your compressor is running when you turn on the temperature control it is not your issue. The second is the Defrost bi-metal thermostat #5303917954 this could be opened and causing your fan not to run. very common problem. The third is the # 215846602 Defrost control it sends 115 volts power to the evaporator fan motor. Hope this helps see links below for parts. Matt Ace technician

Hi. I would check from each wire to ground going to the evap fan motor to see if there is voltage there. Also, test the motor for ohms and see what you get. Some refrigerators tie in the defrost bi metal to the evap fan circuit, so check your defrost bi -metal as well. I do not see any control boards on this one that the power surge would have damaged and we know the T-stat is working. I would check your defrost timer which may relay the power over to the evap fan motor as well. Check for any burnt wiring or loose connections. defrost part number is 215846602
